En Siete contra Tebas, en el contexto del inminente asalto a la ciudad, la violencia de la guerra genera reacciones diferentes en ciudadanos y en mujeres. Mientras aquellos abordan la situación con ...serenidad y racionalidad, las jóvenes del coro responden con una explosión emocional que irrita al rey. En este trabajo analizaremos con perspectiva de género las actitudes de personajes y coro y la sorprendente respuesta de Eteocles, violenta, desmesurada y tan emocional como la de ellas.
Notre article se propose d’analyser la manière dont l’histoire s’entremêle avec la tragédie dans le premier ouvrage des Voyages de Bernier. Pour ce faire, notre recherche s’appuie sur des concepts ...comme la vraisemblance, essentielle pour l’histoire ainsi que pour la tragédie de l’époque. De plus, notre étude essaie de comprendre en quoi la perception européenne de l’Inde pouvait s’avérer un terrain fertile pour l’écriture d’une tragédie tributaire des règles classiques. Pour ce faire, notre enquête se penchera sur des aspects typiques non seulement de la tragédie, comme la quête de l’émotion, mais aussi de l’imaginaire européen de l’Orient, comme la cruauté, la violence, la tyrannie, le sérail.
My article aims at analyzing the way in which the first work from Bernier’s Voyages mixes history with tragedy. For so doing, my research uses concepts like plausibility which, at the time, was essential for both history and tragedy. Additionally, my study tries to understand in what way the European perception of India could act a fertile land for the writing of a tragedy dependent on the classical rules. For so doing, my paper will examine some aspects typical not only of the tragedy, like the search for emotion, but also of the European imagination about the Orient, like the cruelty, the violence, the tyranny, the seraglio.
"Tragedy has always been an important literary genre. Topics dealt with these plays have so deeply penetrated the imaginary worldwide, in a way that in every century one can find rewritings of those ...scenarios.
The aim of this paper is to stimulate a reflection on the reception of Greek tragedies in the contemporary age. More specifically, we will look at the fortune of the “Oresteia”. This issue will be the starting point for a discussion concerning the ways in which the Classics enter the contemporary theatrical repertoire. With the aid of some examples, we will delve into some approaches in this practice. At first we will examine the difference between the translation of a Greek tragedy and an adaptation of such type of play. The comparison will lead us to some relevant considerations on the function of the actor’s body in these mises en scène."
Since Cicero’s time and all the way to the modern era, Terence’s plays have been studied for their pedagogical value, located in three particular areas. Foremost, Terence’s works were valued for ...their choice of language and charm of style (cf. Cicero ad Att. 7.3.10 elegantiam sermonis; also Quintilian, inst. 10.1.90 praised Terence’s prose as in hoc genere elegantissima). From the Renaissance on Terence was a reference source of correct colloquial Latin. Secondly, Terence’s characters were distinguished by their ‘humanity’, meaning their idealized depiction of human character, and were interpreted as exempla of civic conduct and morality. Thirdly, Terence invented the concept of suspense in a dramatic performance. By eliminating from his plays information about the resolution of the plot, and, especially in the Hecyra, by abolishing the traditional plot as such, Terence inspired the rebirth of drama in the modern era. Two less studied aspects of Terence’ dramas, with respect to pedagogical interest, comprise their firm awareness of contemporary politics and social tensions, and tendency to assess and illustrate them. In the present paper, I discuss the different ways in which Terence’s plays engage a) in critical dialogue with the conventions of comic dramaturgy and stereotypical characterization, and b) in sociopolitical commentary of issues of broad public interest, even though he reproduced the allegedly apolitical plots of Menander’s dramas. Following an overview of the background of Terence’s work (his predecessors and the characteristics of his dramaturgy that set him apart from the earlier masters of the palliata genre, most notably Plautus), and his special attraction to Menander, I will focus on two casestudies that illustrate how Terence’s engagement with dramaturgical conventions and traditional, firmly established social norms may have been employed to provoke, but also educate and instruct
The tragedies of Aeschylus “The Seven Against Thebes”, Euripides “The Phoenician” and Sophocles “Antigone” are compared in terms of ideas about the role and mission of education in war and peace. As ...depicted by the classic playwrights, Thebes is a city where the military takes place outside, and inside is an intellectual confrontation. The clever and the noble are found on one or on the opposite sides of the barricades together with the stupid and misguided sometimes both literally and figuratively. Aeschylus, Euripides, and Sophocles associate what is happening to the city with its origins, in order to be able to build pedagogical bridges between the past, the present and the future. Each tragedy is a different story, which in one way or another represents an archaic scheme of seven pairs of opposite warriors standing in seven gates. The tragedies are different in that the heroes choose different lines of defense of the city, which was threatened with destruction because of the confrontation of their sons. The acts of the Eteocles and Polynices are regarded by some heroes as punishment for the city for its painful past, and by others – as an instruction for a better future. With pedagogical intent, representatives of different generations and social layers turn to the myth of the city foundation, dreaming of how good it would have been to prevent such a plight. Thebes, in the view of the classic playwrights, is a city either narrowed down to a single unique family with a special pedagogy for the home, or expanding to a universal community of citizens who are instructed by its ruler through a wise power or a strong wisdom. This “pulsing” city exists in a tragic circle: the bloody victories of the past have not taught anything to those who crave for new and new victims in the present, thus setting for a special type of pedagogical dreams about the future.
Siendo Genet un apestado, un expulsado, un maldito de la cultura europea, alguien que en Europa (y no solo en Europa) fue perseguido y encarcelado por sus delitos, alguien que nunca se cansó de ...aguijonear, maltratar y maldecir la cultura oficial europea, siendo el verdadero crítico de la misma, hemos de concluir que fue la cultura oficial europea la que se alejó, la que le dio la espalda a Genet y, así, a Hegel; y, así, a sí misma. Esta habría sido la verdadera tragedia europea: haber traicionado su propia vocación, su destino, que era seguir el camino que Hegel diseñó.
The world’s oceans face total ecological collapse by 2048 if the fishing industries’ extraction is not reined in. At the helm of the ocean crisis have been fisheries management regimes built upon the ...logic of the tragedy of the commons, which interpret resource depletion as being driven by human self-interest, and then propose market-based policy solutions. This comparative case study tests the generalizability of the tragedy of the commodity, a political economic theory of fishery collapse that challenges the tragedy of the commons by applying it to the case of the 1992 Newfoundland cod fishery collapse. A model for incorporating a distinct analysis of state structures, actions, and interests is then proposed.
The aim of this study was to identify whether there is a difference in the environmentally-conscious consumer behavior (ECCB) of a region directly impacted by an environmental tragedy, as compared to ...the ECCB of non-impacted regions. We empirically tested the main argument of the protection motivation theory, through the design of a structural model, based on the literature, that was estimated with cross-sectional data, which allowed us to distinguish the effects of both green behavior and perceived consumer effectiveness on the ECCB from both regions. Our model also considers the antecedents of both green behavior and perceived consumer effectiveness, thereby attempting to accurately model the complex process of forming the ECCB in a context of environmental tragedy. Using a sample of 420 individuals from an impacted region, and 394 individuals from non-impacted regions, results show that perceived consumer effectiveness affects the ECCB only in the impacted region. In this region, perceived consumer effectiveness is strongly influenced by ecological attitudes compared to environmental concern and external motivators. Conversely, green behavior affects the ECCB more in the non-impacted regions. Our evidence suggests that, after experiencing an environmental tragedy, consumers began to reflect on the effects of their consumption, which in turn influenced the ECCB. However, the effect of their green actions on their consumption behavior seems to decrease in the impacted region relative to the non-impacted regions.

A peculiar note from a neighbor of a consumer culture theorist stationed at Miskatonic University who has gone missing arrives for you. The Arkham police have tasked the neighbor with sorting out ...some seemingly-incoherent academic notes left behind by the professor. In particular, they have tasked him with reaching out to you in order to determine the meaning of a peculiar phrase, “the lurker waits in the object” scrawled into the missing professor's desk. The notes concern several topics, but seem, in the neighbor's opinion, to revolve around object-oriented ontology, horror reality, genre horror, and information by allusion. The neighbor emphasizes that the missing professor may have suffered some mental illness or other tragedy, but has no other viable leads aside from the phrase and notes and begs your expert advice on the topic.
Dans la Médée de Pierre Corneille, la figure de Médée, mère infanticide, a déjà fait l’objet de nombreux commentaires qui permettent de mieux comprendre la première tragédie de cet auteur. Toutefois, ...le personnage de Jason, encore souvent sous-estimé, me paraît également essentiel pour saisir la signification de cette pièce. C’est pourquoi cet article vise à aborder, sous l’angle de l’Argonaute, l’oeuvre qui porte le nom de son épouse, Médée, en se posant, entre autres, les questions suivantes: Qui est le héros tragique de cette pièce? Quel est le rôle de Jason dans la progression dramatique? Comment Corneille se réapproprie-t-il ce sujet déjà traité par Euripide et Sénèque? Cette tragédie n’interroge-t-elle pas d’abord l’humanité de Jason avant la monstruosité de Médée ? Voici autant de pistes auxquelles nous allons tenter de répondre par une relecture de la pièce doublée d’outils de recherche logométrique. Abstract In Pierre Corneille’s Medea, the figure of Medea, the infanticidal mother, has already been the subject of numerous comments that help us to better understand this author’s first tragedy. However, the character of Jason, still often underestimated, also seems to me essential to grasp the meaning of this play. This is why this article aims to approach, from the perspective of the Argonaut, the work that bears his wife's name, Medea, by asking the following questions, among others: Who is the tragic hero of this play? What is Jason’s role in the dramatic progression? How does Cornelius reappropriate this subject, already dealt with by Euripides and Seneca? Doesn’t this tragedy first question Jason’s humanity before Medea’s monstrosity? Here are some of the questions we will try to answer by rereading the play and using logometric research tools.
